❝ But what happens in the Industrial Revolution is that human effort gets embedded in a set of institutions — legal institutions, market institutions — that commodify it so that every hour of wage labor is equal to every other hour of wage labor and then sold on a market for a price.

And that’s an enormous transformation in the human experience — a total transformation in all social relations, political relations, economic relations and also, crucially, the subjective experience of being alive in the world.

I think something similar is happening with attention. And it started a while ago — the same way that the industrial revolution actually started earlier than we think. But we’re reaching a crescendo where attention is now this market commodity that’s extracted and sold. ❞
